A Deception OF tho Senses.

Marryatt's story Of the old sailor who used
to wrap bis two wooden legs in flannel be-
cause he felt rheumatic pains in them, need
not DO considered altogether extravagant. 1t
is said that after part Of limb has been
amputated person may feel as II 1t were
still entire, or may feel pain in the foot when
the Icy has been taken Off far above the an lie.
Psychologists explain this as follows: The
severed nerve in the stump is irritated and
causes pain; as this irritation in the nerve
trunk has hitherto been caused by irritation
of its filaments in the foot and leg, the mind
continues to believe that the sensation comes
thence. Another case Of referred sensation
occurs when new nose is formed by bring
ing flap Of skin from the forehead down
over the nasal bones. The flap is not entirely
severed, but retains its connection with the
deeper tissues at point between the eyes
For some time after the operation any irrita-
ton of the nose is referred by the mind to
that part from which the skin was taken. Ii
a fly crawls over the nose it appears to the
patient to be creeping across the forehead.

THE LADY's TRICYCLE..

Mr.. Rowland, in The Scientific American,
claims that the tricycle. is mechanically
adapted to afford the best possible exercise at
the smallest'expense Of fatigue and nervous
energy. The whole body is thoroughly exer
cised, and yet so perfectly adapted to human
needs is this exercise that the fatigue Of n
ten mile ride is less than is experienced in
walking one-tenth Of the distance. The
practicabllity of the tricycle. as vehicle for
the daily use of women is, in Mr.. Howland's
opinion, undoubted. He says: "Therr is
scarcely large town in the land where there
are not some ladies who use the tricycle. as
others do their horse and carriage. 1t is always
ready at the door for an errand to the market,
a call on a friend, spin for pleasure or a
tourney to the next town."
The original cost of tricycle. is about the
same as that of a very ordinary horse, but
once bought, the expense attending its opera
tion is almost nothing. The use of tandem
tricycles is rapidly increasing in this country.
The special advantage of the tandem is that
IL affords conveyance for two persons, and
allows use of the strength of both in pro-
pellinQ the machine.

Deniarest recommends the dress shown in
the accompanying cut, which is of princess
shape, as desirable model, and makes the
following suggestions in regard to it: "lt is
almost tight fitting, with the fullness in the
back contributed by plaits laid in the back
and side form seams. The front is double
breasted and embellished by plats so laid as
to impart a vest effect (see front view. The
back view gives good idea Of the manner
in which the plaits in the skirt are turned.
The model is neither too dressy for mex
pensive goods nor too simple for rich ones;
it is the garniture that will impart the re-
uuired degree of dressness or simplicity. 1t
will look well made in cambria or Bingham
or Chambery, with only plain row of EN-
broidery down the edge, or even bias band
Of either figured or solid colored goods,
whichever is in contrast with the dress itself;
and the vest facing can match the trimming.
Cashmere or surah or pongee or summer silk
could be used for it, and trimmed with black
or cream lace, according to the goods, and
satin or faille ribbon could be employed for
the bow, and piece Of the same ribbon or
facing the middle Of the front; and it might
even be used for tea gown, Of plush or bro
caded silk garnished with satin ribbon and
fine lace.

Manners and Customs Practiced in Po-
Tito Society.
A married lady, if she respects the customs
of polite society, does not prefix "Mrs." to
her signature in note or letter. II, however,
she is writing to stranger who is un-
acquainted with her relationship she uses the
prefix, but invariably incloses it in brackets.
Sometimes, says an authority on social Ell
quette, when n is important that no mistake
be made about the authorship of the letter.
she may sign her own name in full and be-
meath it in brackets her husbands, just as she
would order it engraved on her visiting card.
An unmarried lady inclcses [Mfss] before
her name when it is essential that her identity
be perfectly understood A very convenient
exception to the above custom is that a mar
ried lady may sign herself Mrs. Bank, al
unmarried one Miss Blank, or Miss Polly
Blank, when writing to butcher, baker and
other domestic orders. This, with the date
and address, will prove sufficient direction
for the reply.

smallpox and Cowpox.

The generally accepted theory that small
pox in man and cowpox are one and the same
disease is disputed by George Fleming, LII. D.,
a vocabulary surgeon OF the british army.
One of the best authorities quoted in support
of the theory was the late Mr.. Ceely. who
reported that he had succeeded in producing
cowpox by inoculating COW with smallpox
matter. DR.. Fleming believes that DR.. Ceely
was misled i'll this experiment, and that what
he really used was vaccine. and not the virus
of smallpox. His experiment was subse-
quently repeated on twelve heifers by Dr.
Klein under DR.. Ceely's supervision, and,
though smallpox matter was inserted abun-
dainty into the missions, cowpox was not de-
veloped in any Of the animals. Similar ex
periinents have been performed in France
and Italy, and the results have all been the
same as those in England. DR.. Fleming holds
that all these experiments 60 to show that the
two diseases are not Identical, nor can coWvpox

Electricity and Hygiene.

Sanitary science, says Popular Science
News, now claims electricity as an ally and
helper. The introduction OF the electric light
is, according to this authority, to be encour-
aged on hygienic grounds. Whether the light
is in some cases injurious to the eyes is not
fully settled but if this be the case, it is to be
regarded as disadvantage incident to the
present rudimental state of the enterprise,
and sure to be obviated by improved appli-
ances. Meanwhile we know that the use Of
the new light in churches, public halls, thea
tres and similar places Of assembly has been
of immense advantage to the purity OF the
air, hitherto vitiated by the combustion of
gas, oil and kindred agents that depend on
atmospheric oxygen for their illuminating
power No doubt rea,lers have noticed that
the air in a large room lighted by electricity
is both purer and cooler than in one lighted
by gas or oil.

Experience has proven that 1t first attacks
carpets, and there is where we may look Tor an
assault Like tho common carpet moth u
works first at the corners Of the carpet. Pro-
fessor Cook, OF Michigan, who has investi'
gated the subject of these pests most thor
oughly, recommends the following remedies:
First, iron wet cloths placed over the al.
fe tel part Of the carpet, using fiat irons that
are very hot. The cloths may be two orI
more thicknesses of common toweling; wringl
out the water and then iron dry The heated
steam penetrating every fiber OF the carpet and
crevice Of the floor. destroys the larv9. 10
be successful the work must be thorough; Q
full head Of steam Is needed.
Another remedy is to brush the floor under
meath the carpet with strong solution OF cor
rosive subimate, the bi-chloride Of mercury.
This should be made as follows: Four parts
(by waighD bi-chloride Of mercury, one OF
chloride Of ammonia (sal ammoniac) and fifty
parts Of water. This is surely fatal to bed
bugs, and carpet beetles can hardly be.pos-
sessed OF more lives than are the bed bugs
The objection to this remedy is the virulency
Of the poison. or course with care there isno
danger.
Naphthaline, the crystals of naphtha, kero-
sene oil or gasoline would each and all kill the
insects If freely used under the carpets. There
are two objections to their use. They are all
more or less offensive as to odor, while the
last two, from their inflammable nature,
might do great harm in careless hands In case
furniture is infested, the free use Of gasoline
would be the safest and surest remedy. In
this case the articles to be treated could be re-
moved to an outbuilding, and should not be
returned to the house till the liquid had thor
oughly evaporated. Wooden garments not in
use may be protected by putting them in per.
fectly close boxes. Those lined with tarred
paper are excellent for the purpose.

A DISPUTED Point.

What to do with hat, overcoat, cane or UNI
brella when making call, is source OF dis
pute to not few men. Good authority says
that gentleman in making brief visit
should always carry his hat into the parlor,
leaving his overcoat, etc., in the hall But
when going to spend the evening with friend
whom he visits often, it is quite proper to
leave the hat in the hail. In making all after
noon call it is proper, according to recognized
masculine authority, to carry the hat and
cane or umbrella, if the latter is dry and
tightly rolled, into the parlor.
